“This is the best sweet potato muffin recipe I’ve come across! My family loved these. They turned out so well. Flavorful, just enough spice, just sweet enough without being overly sweet and healthy! Very light and fluffy – not dense like other sweet potato muffin recipes I’ve tried. Highly recommend this recipe to others!”-Mel

Looking for the perfect sweet potato muffin your kids will actually devour?

Then, I’ve got you!

These Sweet Potato Muffins are soft, fluffy, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. The kind of snack or breakfast you’ll find yourself making again and again. They come together fast, bake up beautifully, and freeze like a dream, making them ideal for busy mornings or after-school snacks.

I love pairing them with scrambled eggs for breakfast or smearing a little cream cheese in the middle and pairing them with fresh fruit for a quick, balanced snack. My oldest is a chocolate chip enthusiast (she sneaks a few mini ones into her half of the batch), while my youngest is a purist who prefers hers plain. So we compromise – half with chocolate chips, half without – and everyone’s happy.

#MyMomHack: These Sweet Potato Muffins make the best lunchbox addition! I pack one or two muffins, a side of yogurt and mixed berries, a serving of granola for crunch, and a hard-boiled egg to finish it off.

Top 5 Toppings (according to my kids;)

Although these healthy Sweet Potato Muffins are delicious as is, feel free to experiment with a few toppings. Toddlers and older kids love to help with sprinkling on their own toppings before baking!
